I am searching for my american father John D. Sweeney, who was born in
1940 in Chicago, Ill. His mothers name was Charlotte Sweeney.
John was in Denmark in 1961 where he met my mother. As my mother was young
and wanted to study, I was given away for adoption to a doctor at Birth. I
am born on 4.th of July 1962 in Copenhagen, Denmark. John knows about me,
but has never been able to contact me, as I was given away for adoption.
I know he has been to college, but not what he ended up as a
proffesion.(to work with). He was very interested in music and art.
He is supposed to be blond with blue eyes and not very tall.
Can anyone please help me, as all my efforts sofar has given no results?
Thankyou ever so much !

Trying to find info on a Martin Sweeney 1841-1895, born County Mayo. Don't
know who his parent's were but if the Irish naming tradition is anything
to go by his father may have been called Patrick. Martin married a Mary
Mulligan though I cannot find their marriage. At some point Martin came to
England as his first child Patrick was born in Wigan in 1871. He also had
two other son's, James born Darwen, Lancashire 1879 and Myles born circa
1884 born Lancashire and died unmarried in 1916 in 1st world war. A
daughter Alice was born around 1886 also. Can't seem to find out if Martin
came over here with family or not. However, I have details to present day
of the family, am just struggling to get any further back.

James Sweeney was captain of the Athlone Town FC team which won the Irish
Free State Cup in 1924. He died without children. He had a brother John
and possibly another PJ.
The family owned a public house in Athlone.
I have some information that some nephews moved to Mayo, but that could be
wrong.
I know it's a long shot, but anybody got any information.
I am writing a souvenir publication marking the 80th anniversary of the
Free State Cup win

Hello To All Sweeney Families,
My grandfather, Jacob Sween[e]y, was born May 1888 in Bandon, County Cork;
prior to WW1 he emigrated to Canada alone. Parents are Jacob Sweeny and
Margaret Tanner. I do not know if Jacob and Margaret were born in Cork,
nor when. Hoping to connect with other Sween[e]y researchers of County
Cork or interested in this specific line. Thank You, Jane

Looking to find out where my husbands Sweeney family who came from in
Cork,Ireland. All we know is that a One woman, her three sons and a baby
left cork during the famine and ended up in Newcastle (Gateshead),
England. They were Millers by trade in Ireland. Their family name was
Sweeney and the baby was called Patrick. The baby grew up got married and
is my husband Gt. Gt Grandfather. Would also like to know where the ships
from Cork going to Engand sailed to. I know they went to liverpool and
wondered where else they stopped, did they go to Newcastle and did they
keep passenger records for such short trips. If there are any Sweeneys
from Gateshead and surrounding areas that recognise this story please send
me a mail. Would love to solve this mystery as the family have wondered
for years about it.

My mother was a Swasy. I believe her grandparents came from Northern
Ireland (My father's came from Tyrone). They settled in Western
Pennsylvania. Is the name Swasy a variant of Sweeney? I don't see it
listed. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks-
